Sasser suspect has fans
Kevin Poulsen, SecurityFocus 2004-05-14

The German teenager fingered as the author of the Sasser and NetSky worms may not be popular among IT professionals, but fans of the accused miscreant have already sprung to his defense and, apparently, opened their wallets.

FYI he reused an exploit, and MS issued a patch before sasser's release..

I think one can still consider his code as an unintentional warning, even if it wasted bandwith and rebooted lots of machines.

At least everybody is patched and companies are firewalling port 445 too.

Some might thank him, but give money for this cheap code, i doubt.
